Do you dream about moving abroad? YEAH THAT'S ME
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info. Heading to Cambodia, I had absolutely no plans. I booked my first night in Phnom Penh, and that was pretty much it. I knew I’d make it up to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat, but I had no idea what other […]

If I haven’t already convinced you to visit the beautiful Cambodian island Koh Rong, you’ll be packing your bags after this post. This winter I spent a few days in Cambodian island paradise, cut off from the internet, technology and sometimes electricity! On […]
About a week ago, I filled you all in on my EPICALLY HORRIBLE night bus adventure from Siem Reap down to Sihanoukville. What I didn’t tell you is that I wasn’t actually headed to Sihanoukville. Instead, I went to Koh Rong! A Quick Stop in Sihanoukville Through my travels, I kept hearing negative things about Sihanoukville. It’s […]
Everyone has travel moments they’re not proud of.

It’s an odd feeling, visiting a country that has experienced genocide so recently. Atrocities that occurred only a few decades ago are still […]

Getting Robbed It was my very first day in Cambodia. I was planning on exploring the city, checking out the […]
With two weeks off for my inter-semester break, I decided to book a trip to Cambodia. I can tell you now, two weeks is not enough! There’s so much to do and see here, and it’s easy to feel rushed when most of the backpackers you meet are traveling on open-ended trips with unlimited time. […]
It’s funny how your best and worst travel moments can be so intertwined. For those of you wondering where I’ve been, I spent the last two weeks traveling Cambodia! I really thought I could find time to write on my two-week whirlwind trip, but boy was I wrong. This post was originally meant to be […]
